your silly, and dub v definitley takes the cake. Although its not as large as loon, vibe is sick, poma is SICK (lift for park runs, goes up the park) and there are some amazing kids skiing there. It also brought up some ill skiers

loon has a larger, better park, but waterville has the superfast lap time, both are better than most if not all other east coast parks

theyre completely different, and on purpose too i think. both of the parks are set up by the same people, maintained by people who are friends w each other, and ridden by the same people... more or less. loon is a flow park, its longer so you can get a nice flow run going on. wv is like a skatepark, tons of features all slammed into one small area. depending on how you feel on a certain day either could be better. i personally like loon earlier season and wv later season because it never gets as cold at loon. WV is like a proving ground though, if you can kill everything at wv, youre all set.

Couldn't agree more...the main feature to me that is better about dub V is that it has the pulley for basically jsut the park riders...on the other hand, dub V also takes in ALOT and i mean ALOT of obstacles such as noobs who shouldnt be in exibition...but rather the little slammer park, along with noobs who jsut feel dandy on jollying their little behinds down exibition as a nice slope...loons a bigger mountain..can definately build up more flow at loon...

It really does get colder at dub v because it is in a valley. And a little more wind. They are both good.

i like WV more but loon is still sick. They seem to have a tight set up in the spring with the eastern boarders last call nad everything. The few times ive been to loon it was freezing and icy though, i hope to get a good day there this winter

I went to loon at the end of last season (after the big butter box got turned into the jump) and i thought that park was sooo dank, could be personal prefrence but with the rails all at the begging of the park then leading into a few big booters flowed so nice

i hit up both last season, and had a great time at both... but i'd have to go with loon as my favorite. this was near the end of the season however, march i think it was. and being that late in the season loon took the cake, both were sick though, hit up both...

wv is dope, you lap all day on the rope toe and hit a couple dope jumps and rails, but its freezing, loon is more fun to lap the bigger park, its not as cold, and has some dope rails and jumps, wallride and pipe, but idk if your going for a day i say WV but a long time i say loon

thats the thing too... if you wanted to you could leave loon at 12 and go down to wv for the second half of the day... theyre so close it doesnt matter where you go. go for 2 days and thrashem both.

the thing thats sick about wv is you can really work on tricks cause you get soooo many runs through the park. loon is super fun too with good flow and a longer park.. but you don't get nearrrly as many laps in..
